Lyrics

Good news!
 She's dead!
 The Witch of the West is dead!
 The wickedest witch there ever was
 The enemy of all of us here in Oz
 Is Dead!
 Good news!
 Good news!
 Look! It's Glinda!
 ♪
 Let us be glad
 Let us be grateful
 Let us rejoicify that goodness could subdue
 The wicked workings of you-know-who
 Isn't it nice to know
 That good will conquer evil?
 The truth we all believe'll by and by
 Outlive a lie
 For you and -
 No one mourns the Wicked
 No one cries "They won't return!"
 No one lays a lily on their grave
 The good man scorns the Wicked!
 Through their lives, our children learn
 What we miss, when we misbehave:
 And Goodness knows
 The Wicked's lives are lonely
 Goodness knows
 The Wicked die alone
 It just shows when you're Wicked
 You're left only
 On your own
 Yes, Goodness knows
 The Wicked's lives are lonely
 Goodness knows
 The Wicked cry alone
 Nothing grows for the Wicked
 They reap only
 What they sow
 Are people born Wicked? Or do they have
 Wickedness thrust upon them? After all, she had
 A father. She had a mother, as so many do:
 How I hate to go and leave you lonely
 That's alright - it's only just one night
 But know that you're here in my heart
 While I'm out of your sight
 And like every family - they had their secrets
 Have another drink, my dark-eyed beauty
 I've got one more night left, here in town
 So have another drink of green elixir
 And we'll have ourselves a little mixer
 Have another little swallow, little lady,
 And follow me down.
 ♪
 And of course, from the moment she was born,
 She was - well - different
 It's coming
 Now?
 The baby's coming
 And how!
 I see a nose
 I see a curl
 It's a healthy, perfect,
 Lovely, little -
 (Screams)
 Sweet Oz!
 What is it? what's wrong?
 How can it be?
 What does it mean?
 It's atrocious
 It's obscene!
 Like a froggy, ferny cabbage
 The baby is unnaturally
 ♪
 Green!
 Take it away, take it away!
 So you see - it couldn't have been easy!
 No one mourns the Wicked!
 Now at last, she's dead and gone!
 Now at last, there's joy throughout the land
 And Goodness knows
 We know what Goodness is
 Goodness knows
 The Wicked die alone
 She died alone
 Woe to those (Woe to those)
 Who spurn what Goodnesses
 They are shown
 No one mourns the Wicked
 Good news!
 No one mourns the Wicked!
 Good news!
 No one mourns the Wicked!
 ♪
 Wicked!
 Wicked!
